Description

Test disable swap-on-zram right now!


How to test

  1. swap-on-zram should be enabled and running to start this test.
  2. Turn off swap-on-zram:
    sudo systemctl stop swap-create@zram0
  3. Confirm it's stopped:
     sudo systemctl status swap-create@zram0
    ● swap-create@zram0.service - Create swap on /dev/zram0
         Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/swap-create@.service; static; vendor preset: disabled)

Expected Results

  1. Status should be inactive (dead).
  2. There should be no /dev/zram0 device listed for the zramctl and swapon commands.
